Community Guidelines
There's no live moderation here. The room is only as good as the people in it — and most people are genuinely decent in it. These guidelines exist to protect that.
Treat everyone like a person
This room has real people in it who are going through real things. You can disagree, be blunt, be weird — but don't target or demean anyone. No harassment, no bullying, no hate speech. Don't use what someone shared vulnerably as ammunition.
Protect anonymity — yours and everyone else's
Anonymity is what makes people honest here. Don't share your real name, location, school, workplace, or anything that could identify you. And don't share that information about anyone else either — even if they let something slip themselves.
Don't screenshot conversations to share outside this room. What happens here, stays here.
Keep harmful content out
Talking about struggling, dark thoughts, and pain is exactly what this space is for. The line is content that exists to harm rather than to be heard — no detailed self-harm instructions, no threats, no graphic violence meant to disturb.
If someone seems to be in immediate danger, please point them toward real help. The best thing you can do is share a crisis line number and remind them they're not alone.
Keep it genuine
No spam. No advertising. No flooding the room with the same message. This is a space for real expression — if you treat it that way, other people will too.
The short version
Be honest. Be kind where you can. Don't make it harder for anyone else to feel safe saying the thing they came here to say. That's really it.
If something feels wrong in the room and you need real help, don't wait for a moderator — there isn't one. Go to our support page for crisis resources.
